Model Responses
Perplexity
Response
1. Pricing tier availability
Stored data is INCORRECT.
Gems are available to Gemini Advanced (now aligned with Google AI Pro/Plus), Google AI Pro, Business, Enterprise, and Google AI Ultra subscribers, but not to Free plan users[1][2][4]. This contradicts the stored "Free" and "AI Pro" availability with notes like "Create custom Gems (free since March 2025)". Usage limits are higher for paid tiers (e.g., "Full" with sharing for Pro), but no specific quotas detailed; Free lacks access entirely[1][2].
2. Platform/surface availability
Stored data is INCORRECT.
Available on web (gemini.google.com), iOS, Android (mobile apps), Windows, macOS (desktop/web access), but not on Linux (no native support), Chrome (extension unclear), terminal, or direct consumer API for Gems creation (Gemini API supports models but Gems are UI feature; Vertex AI for enterprise agents)[2][3][7]. Matches partially (✅ for web/iOS/Android/Windows/macOS; ❌ for Linux/Chrome/terminal), but API note "Gemini API" is inaccurate for custom Gems.
3. Current status
Stored data is CORRECT.
Status is GA (generally available since March 2025 rollout to all eligible paid users after initial limited launch)[1].
4. Access gating
Stored data is INCORRECT.
Gating is paid-only (requires Gemini Advanced/Pro, Business, Enterprise, or Ultra subscriptions), not "free"[1][2][4].
5. Regional availability
Stored data is CORRECT (with minor update).
Available globally in over 150 countries and most languages; no major country-specific limitations noted beyond standard Gemini restrictions[1][2]. Matches "Available globally"; no change detected.
6. Official URL
Official page: **https://gemini.google/overview/gems/**[7].
Active and accessible, describing "Build custom experts with Gems" for coding, brainstorming, etc.
7. Recent changes
No change detected in last 30 days (since ~Feb 2026).
Most recent noted update is sharing feature (Sep 2025)[1]; no announcements post-March 2025 expansion in provided results[1][2].
